Addressing a massive gathering, the LG said voices from every town, village, and locality are now rising together against drug smugglers and narco-terror elements. He added that the campaign, which started 43 days ago in Jammu, has transformed into a powerful mass movement across the Union Territory.
LG Sinha reiterated that any official or public representative found linked with drug networks or supporting the narcotics trade would face strict legal action.
“Even the slightest trace of involvement in the drug network within the system will be removed mercilessly and without hesitation,” he said. “We have intensified the crackdown and will continue action until the narco-smuggling network is completely destroyed.”
He informed that during the past 43 days, authorities have registered 797 FIRs and arrested 894 drug smugglers and peddlers. As many as 59 traffickers were booked under PIT-NDPS provisions, while 81 illegal properties raised through drug money were demolished.
